Oh - this is fabulous. It picks up a very much under appreciated aspect of LOTR; Elfhelm's 'understanding' with Dernhelm. I have just been re-reading that bit myself and wondering about it. Great ot find such a well written one shot.

Love that idea that Erestor has been praising her breasts and bum and all the time she has a lover - femlae. Damn good plan all round I htink... but Erestor is doing a great deal for a 'friend' so I htink that Glorfindel is not entirely bereft! When he'dies' it amy be that Erestor discovers some feelings that were unacknolwedged...here's hoping because it would be fireworks!

Poor Glorfindel. He really is hopelessly in love and who can blame him. But this is such a good plan as long as Erestor really does not fall in love- but again, fate awaits them and I wonder how long before it catches up.

Love the OCs and the canon characters alike. Erestor is an intersting mix, isn't he and poor GLorfindel- still , he seems ot have got over his unrequited love/lust thing. I like the detaisl adn thinking you put into the daily life of Gondolin... but beneath is the knowledge that soon it is all going to crumble. And Glorfindel's fate is well known of course- intersted to see how to deal with that one. Lovely writing- spare but rich.

I love the complexity of this- interwoven with the losses of Gondolin and the new wars, new enemies- I love that you make it complicated in a way that very few writers think of or acknowledge. This relationship between Erestor and Glorfindel is unpredictable and intriguing, the hurt they cause and the promise of healing is so alive.

Author's Response: I'm so glad you're loving it! This fiction was actually very hard for me to write, as it is so dark and I am dealing with the pains and joys of immortal beings, one of them a resurrected one no less. I hope you continue through the end with enjoyment!

Author's Response: Thanks ziggy. Just read your bio. I never was much into reading as a kid but the one book my mom always suggested I read was the Hobbit. I just read it this summer, (thirty something years later) and thanked her, lol. Now, my daughter and I take turns reading the LotR books. I have to explain some things but she enjoys it. I too read just about every Legolas story out there and then tried my hand at writing my own when I ran out of stuff to read. And of course I enjoy your work very much. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I really appreciate it. And by the way, call me Moe.

Summary: What once began as an innocent childhood friendship comes under threat as Arwen and Legolas realise that they yearn for something more. Amongst the turbulant years of the 3rd age, both encounter significant hurdles as they struggle to hide their desires.

This story also includes the twins and a couple of OCs. No slash. No crude language.

I seem to be following you sround today! Thought I would leave a comment here too, just to say again, that first scene with Alar fringing his warrior was really so good- I could hear , see and almost smell it. Best scene I think, although I can see your Arwen and Legolas sitting together thinknig how they spent the night before. I really enjoy the lightness but you have introduced that element now of real danger. It would be good to see Legolas join Alar routing the goblins next, and something happening between them to bring that conversation they should be having- she's mine, no, sh;e mine sort of thing ...I can dream.

Author's Response: Haha, my own stalker, lol. No I don't mind. Legolas is quite possibly going with Alar, but Herendil is being left at the House to try sort out things with Oloriel. He's still confused about why she ran away.
It is darker in some ways because we are gradually approaching a darker time, and gradually approaching an end to Legolas' stay. And other reasons which are not cemented. Nothing much happening this week, so maybe I can get something written (or at least think properly about).

this is wonderful- love the cat and dog names! It is very visual too and the details are beautifully written. Please don't take so long to update next time. Like Merry and Pippin-lads, I cant wait1!!!

Author's Response: I always wanted a Gimli-Legolas furry duo... I’ll live the dream through fanfic. :P Can’t make promises on updating… before Christmas break comes Finals, so at the most hopeful it will be three weeks. Thank for reading and commenting! :D

I totally agree with everything you say here. It is depressing to see authors writing for nothing and then readers not even leaving a note...of course, I always feel though, best say nothing if you can't be constructive or appreciative. It costs us nothing.

Author's Response: Thanks for the feedback ziggy (love the name by the way). Insults cost us our self doubt. Constructive criticism pays us with knowledge to better ourselves. And appreciative reviewers like yourself are priceless. Glad you agree.

This last section is lovely and atmospheric. I could smell the night air as he conversed with the trees. I love the idea of Thranduil -knowing he is a king but also a father, and the fact that Edrahil reminds him that he cannot risk 20 elves for one- tha tis really refreshing as so many fics do exactly htis- it always annoys me. And that he leaves the kingdom in Edrahil's hands so everything si taken care of. (I dont know why you have not picked up more reviews either.)

Author's Response: Thanks, I always wanted to show those two aspects of Thranduil, since he's mostly depicted as just the king. :)
